IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1800UTC Chart Issued at 6:17 am EDT Thursday on 23 January 2020 Showers and thunderstorms extend over northern Australia to southeast Queensland. This is due to humid, northeast to northwesterly airstream and associated low pressure trough. Further south, a strong cold front is moving through western NSW, Victoria and Tasmania, while a secondary cold front is moving through the Bight. Showers extend across southern agricultural areas of South Australia with rain areas and moving over Victoria and Tasmania. Isolated thunderstorms areas also visible across the central parts of Victoria and southwest NSW. A high pressure ridge lies over southern districts of Western Australia. Another high pressure ridge across the Tasman Sea and Coral Sea is directing a north to northeast airstream over eastern Australia.
